American Kingpin:The Epic Hunt for the Criminal Mastermind Behind the Silk Road by Nick Bilton
Click here to buy American Kingpin:The Epic Hunt for the Criminal Mastermind Behind the Silk Road by Nick Bilton from Amazon.
The unbelievable true story of the man who built a billion-dollar online drug empire from his bedroom—and almost got away with it
Drawing on exclusive access to key players and two billion digital words and images Ross left behind, Vanity Fair correspondent and New York Times bestselling author Nick Bilton offers a tale filled with twists and turns, lucky breaks and unbelievable close calls. It's a story of the boy next door's ambition gone criminal, spurred on by the clash between the new world of libertarian-leaning, anonymous, decentralized Web advocates and the old world of government control, order, and the rule of law. Filled with unforgettable characters and capped by an astonishing climax, American Kingpin might be dismissed as too outrageous for fiction. But it's all too real.
